    I downloaded the MacPup Opera61 ISO last night, and using Infra Recorder burned it to what I thought was going to be a boot disk. So far I have burned 10 of these "coasters" using 3 different burners, I have been hung up on this for hours and nothing I do seems to get me any closer to getting an install on an old computer I want to teach my grandson with. I have checked the files with Explorer, and ISO Buster and they all seem to be there there are 11 Files Showing in the E:\Macpup_Ppera61 Folder along with the Boot Folder and the Grub Folder as a sub folder in the Boot folder.
    The 11 Files are as Follows
    BOOT.CAT
    BOOT.MSG
    BOOT000,CAT
    desktop.ini
    HELP.MSG
    INTRD.GZ
    ISOLINUX.BIN
    ISOLINUX.CFG
    LOGO.16
    PUP_420M.SFS
    VMLINUZ

    Thanks for trying Macpup.

    Did you burn the ISO to a CD with a image burn option or manually take all files and write them to the CD?

    Does your PC boot from CD?

    I know it is a older post. Just for info. I don't usually run Windows except for tuning Motorcycles.Proprietary Windows only Software requires it(its expensive to). So I have a Windows 2000 Pro partition on one of my Puppy/AntiX/Windows Laptops. Found out that using Freeware

    is a pretty fool proof way to keep from burning coasters in Windows when wanting to burn a Iso bootable CD or DVD.
